Physical layer security performance analysis of multi-antenna full-duplex relay aided heterogeneous cellular network by Zhou ZHONG, Bo ZHANG, Xiaohui QI, Kaizhi HUANG

“…To alleviate the spectrum shortage problem and security threats in heterogeneous network (HetNet),multi-antenna full-duplex relay was introduced for communication between femto base station (FBS) and legitimate user.With the aid of multi-antenna full-duplex relay in FBS network,the secrecy performance of HetNets could be improved.Under a stochastic geometry framework,the fundamental analysis model to evaluate the secrecy performance in multi-antenna full-duplex relay aided HetNet was set up.To be specific,the exact expressions for the secrecy outage probability of the typical user,serving relays and HetNet were derived respectively.Then,based on the theoretical analyses and simulation results,the influences of transmit power and antenna number of both macro base station and FBS on secrecy performance in HetNet were examined.Finally,the results show that introducing multi-antenna full-duplex relay for FBS networks improves the secrecy performance of HetNet.…”

Macroeconomic Policy Reforms and Economic Performance in Malawi 1960-2013 by Chirwa, T.G., Odhiambo, N.M.

“…Two fundamental challenges are identified that have led to a subdued performance of the economy – the crowding-out effect of State-interventionism affecting private sector-led growth; and regulatory arbitrage that has created an environment for rent-seeking behaviour. The study concludes that policy inconsistencies in implementing economic policies and reforms in Malawi have been instrumental in influencing the suboptimal growth patterns of the Malawian economy.…”

Drug-induced bone disorders: A systematic review by Anshita Aggarwal, Meha Sharma, Indira Maisnam, Soumitra Ghosh, Sameer Aggarwal, Saptarshi Bhattacharya, Deep Dutta

“…Drug-induced bone disorders are a group of disorders characterized by osteomalacia or osteoporosis, with the common denominator being the iatrogenic nature of the disease. Drug-induced bone disorders are either due to the drug directly effecting the bone microarchitecture (osteoblastic or osteoclastic activity) or indirectly by interfering with Vitamin D metabolism, Vitamin D/calcium absorption, and excess calcium loss or due to altered hormone states which promote bone loss (hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, somatostatin excess states, insulin deficiency, increased systemic inflammation, and oxidative stress). …”
